I’ll take the 20

After Round 4:
Bryan
tbktravis

Taking the points.

(scattered cheers)

(Frasier's theme plays)

Travis up to 25. Bryan's yet to score. Maybe the champ's luck will change as we here that music calling. It's time for a Scramble Eggs question.

(scattered cheers)

This question involves a scrambled proper name. Please don't tell us what the actual name is -- but instead tell us how many of the letters are in the right positions.

Now to the rest of the question.

At least one controversial incident has prevented a sports legend from being inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. With the eggs, we've scrambled the legend's name; tell us how many letters are in their correct positions.

(Travis buzzes in)

Travis?

[tbktravis]

Is it 4

[dougmorrisontheair]

Let's see. Are 4 letters in their right spots?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Legend's name is Pete Rose. The P and E for Pete are in the right places. The O and E for Rose are in the right places.

(rolling sfx)

Travis, a Crag will triple your score and give you a gigantic lead.

[tbktravis]

Stop ADA

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on a 6!

(ding) (loud groans from crowd)

Notice the only happy person in the room is Bryan. (scattered laughter from crowd) Travis, another near miss on the Crag. But you may take 12 points or reroll.

[tbktravis]

Re roll all of them. Stop (ABC)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Reroll 'em all. That's allowed. So no dice on ice this time.

(rolling sfx)

They all reroll. Let's see if this strategy works.

(ding)

Stop on a 4.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on another 4!

(ding) (audience groans)

And stop on a 2.

After Round 5:
Bryan
tbktravis

Long way to stop on a dime. Travis still pitching a shutout over the champ 35 to nil.

Let's see if Bryan can get on the board as we fill in the blank.

(MG'7x stinger) (scattered cheers)

Fill in the blank in the title of this video game with the spelled-out word for a single digit number.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan?

[Bryan]

Five?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Sounds like we've got some fans of this game in the crowd. Are we talking Five Nights at Freddy's?

(ding; audience applause)

We are. Guess turned out to be a great one, Bryan.

(rolling sfx)

Well, you'll get on the scoreboard, champ. Could take the lead with a lucky roll.

[Bryan]

CCF

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 4.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Stop on another 4!

(ding) (audience groans)

And stop on a 1. Well, want to get on the board with 9 points -- or take a reroll. You're trailing 35-0 at the moment -- and we're in Round 6.

[Bryan]

Freeze the 4’s. A

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

Going for trips or a Crag -- likely the latter. Let's freeze the fours.

(freeze sfx)
(rolling sfx)

Last number rerolls.

(ding) (loud groans)

Argh! Overshot the Crag by one.

After Round 6:
Bryan
tbktravis

Travis didn't mind that at all. Bryan now has points in his coffers.

Okay, we have four rounds to go unless one of you scores 100 points. Round 7 question's on sports.

Missing digit question: I'll show you the number of players on a hurling team -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(ding)

70 Bryan
11 tbktravis
23 randomizer.org

(Travis buzzes in)

Travis?

[tbktravis]

I’m gonna say 11

[dougmorrisontheair]

Travis is thinking the last digit is a 1. Are there 11 players on a hurling team?

(buzz)

No. Sorry. Bryan, chance to steal.

(ding)

And we're dealing with elements of the non-Crag thirteen among the choices.

Brian, again, this is the players on a hurling team. Is the last digit a 2, 5, or 6?

[Bryan]

No clue, I'll say 12.

[Bryan]

Or 2. (I keep forgetting single digits)

[dougmorrisontheair]

No worries. We know what you're talking about. Are there 12 players on a hurling team? Is the last digit 2?

(buzz)

No -- 15 players are on a hurling team.

Sorry folks -- but no points awarded this round.

After Round 7:
Bryan
tbktravis

Still 35 to 14 in Travis' favor. Round 8 question's on television.

Single digit question: During Jay Leno's tenure as host of "The Tonight Show", how many different guest hosts filled in for him?

(Travis buzzes in)

Travis?

[tbktravis]

I’m thinking 4

[dougmorrisontheair]

Did Jay have 4 different folks sub for him?

(buzz)

No. Sorry. Bryan, chance to steal.

(ding)

During Jay Leno's tenure as host of "The Tonight Show", how many different guest hosts filled in for him?

Bryan, is the answer 1, 3 or 5?

[Bryan]

I can't even imagine anyone ever filling in for Leno! Carson no doubt, so I'll say 1!

[dougmorrisontheair]

Did just 1 person fill in for Jay?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Believe it or not, the lone sub-host in the Jay Leno era was Katie Couric. That day, Jay filled in for Katie on "The Today Show" as part of a host swap stunt.


(rolling sfx)

Anything better than a straight will give you the lead, Bryan. Let's see what happens.

[Bryan]

FEC

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

Stop on a 2.

(ding)

And stop on a 4. Well -- I gotta ask even though I have a good idea at what the answer is -- 7 points or a reroll?

[Bryan]

FBF

[dougmorrisontheair]

Rerolling everything. Very well.

(rolling sfx)

There go all the dice again.

(ding)

Stop on a 5.

(ding)

Stop on a 6.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

And stop on a 2. That's a non-Crag thirteen for 26 points.

After Round 8:
Bryan
tbktravis

With just two rounds to go, Bryan's leading now -- 40 to 35.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Round 9 question's on measurements.

Missing digit question: I'll show you the number of inches in a linear yard -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(ding)

90 Bryan
53 tbktravis
05 randomizer.org

(Travis buzzes in)

Travis?

[tbktravis]

I’ll say 36

[dougmorrisontheair]

Is that last digit a 6?

(ding; audience applause) (rolling sfx)

Indeed -- and the dice are already rolling, Travis.
